An employee of Mukuru, a prominent financial services platform, has disappeared along with an amount of US$15,181. The employee, Blessed Chanetsa (23), went missing on January 4, 2024, with the money intended for distribution to clients in Kariba. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) urged anyone with information on his whereabouts to report to the nearest police station. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
The ZRP is looking for a Mukuru employee, Blessed Chanetsa (23) who went missing with US$15 181 meant for disbursement to clients in Kariba on 01/01/24. 
</blockquote>
This is not the first occurrence of such an incident involving Mukuru. In 2022, another employee allegedly vanished after US$11,652 went missing from the company’s outlet at Murambinda Growth Point. The situation came to light when a regional supervisor, Samuel Panganai (31), detected an irregularity and instructed the accused, Jairos Tapota, to address it on October 14, 2022.
However, Tapota failed to report for duty on October 19, prompting the regional supervisor to inform the regional manager, Rodney Rondodzai. Rondodzai then instructed a forensic audit by Fawcett, who discovered that US$8,152 was missing, and an additional US$3,500 could not be located in the safe. As a result, a police report was filed at Murambinda police station to investigate the incident.

Mukuru Booth In Lower Gweru Robbed Of US$27 000, R66 000

Three suspected armed robbers who allegedly robbed a Mukuru outlet in Lower Gweru last month were arrested a few hours after committing the crime.
Tapiwa Zhazha (31), Courage Bongani Moyo (31), and Gift Ncube (24) were intercepted by alert police detectives who acted on a tip-off and arrested them.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Midlands Province, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko confirmed the arrest of the trio. He said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of three armed robbery suspects in connection with a robbery of Mukuru Shop at Maboleni Business Centre in Lower Gweru.
Once again police would like to applaud members of the public who supplied information that led to the arrest of the three suspects.
</blockquote>
Allegations are that three suspects confronted Michael Mpofu (23) of Maboleni on 28 March at around 10 AM at his workplace manning Mukuru Shop.
One of the suspects pointed a pistol at Mpofu and demanded cash. The complainant complied and gave the three men all the money in the cash box.
After committing the offence, the suspects fled the scene in a getaway car, a Honda Fit. Said Mahoko:
<blockquote>
On the same day at around 8 PM, information was received to the effect that the three suspects had been spotted in Nkayi heading towards Bulawayo.
Police swiftly reacted and arrested the three suspects leading to the recovery of a Star Becheverria Pistol, 9mm calibre, with five rounds of ammunition, R5 010, US$64, and a Samsung Galaxy M13 cell phone.
</blockquote>
Armed robberies are on the increase in Zimbabwe as a lot of people now prefer storing value in US dollars often stocked away from formal banking institutions for fear of losing them.
According to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency, Zimbabwe recorded 1 120 armed robberies in 2021, compared with 931 in the previous year.
In 2022, in a bid to reduce robberies and rampant gun crime in Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa extended a gun amnesty that allowed Zimbabweans illegally in possession of firearms to surrender them to the police with no questions asked.

Mukuru Booth Armed Robbery Suspects Arrested

Mukuru has launched a drive-thru service in Chisipite, Harare for domestic and international money transfers and plans to launch a similar facility in Bulawayo soon.
The drive-thru is one of the South Africa-based financial services platform’s newest locations in Zimbabwe, joining nine other sites which launched in February 2023.
Marc Carrie-Wilson, country manager for Zimbabwe at Mukuru told <a href="https://thefintechtimes.com/mukuru-launches-tenth-money-transfer-drive-thru-in-zimbabwe/">The Fintech Times</a> that the drive-thru idea proved to be the safest and most convenient option for their customers. He said:
<blockquote>
As we increase our footprint in the country, we explored various innovative ideas to push the envelope and challenge the type of locations that we have as a financial services company.
Safety remains a top priority for us, and the drive-thru idea proved to be the safest and most convenient option for our customers.
The Chisipite drive-thru is open from 7 am to 7 pm daily (including public holidays) and comes with a ‘walk-in’ option for customers who wish to register or visit the location on foot.
Out of the ten new locations, Chisipite is the only drive-thru at the moment, but we hope to launch one in Bulawayo in the next phase.
</blockquote>
According to the World Bank, remittances to Sub-Saharan Africa grew an estimated 5.2 per cent to US$53billion in 2022, compared with 16.4 per cent the previous year.
Meanwhile, Mukuru has also launched a series of services in the past few months to build a diverse product offering for customers.
The company has partnered with Multichoice to make paying for DStv more convenient.
Mukuru also formed a partnership with Bereka to deliver money transfers directly to customers across Zimbabwe.
Carrie-Wilson also revealed that Mukuru has an ongoing partnership with wholesaler Metro Peech &amp; Browne, who make purchasing groceries, stationery and appliances more convenient for Zimbabweans.

Mukuru Shop Robbed Of US$10 000 And ZAR35 000

The Western Cape High Court has chided financial services company Mukuru for hiring foreigners in positions South Africans can occupy.
Mukuru Group’s subsidiaries, Mukuru Financial Services (MFS) and Mukuru Africa (MA) had applied for a corporate visa to allow it to employ foreigners, but South Africa’s Department of Labour rejected the applications.
MFS wanted permission to hire 100 sales and support consultants, 10 controllers, and five call centre team leaders.
MA applied for 10 customer service representatives, five agents supervisors, seven corridor champions, 10 number and verification officers, 10 regional sales supervisors, 20 verification officers, 23 information officers, and 10 area sales supervisors.
Mukuru argued that it needed suitably qualified employees fluent in the indigenous languages of Zimbabwe, Malawi, and other “relevant” languages.
However, the Department of Labour rejected the applications for the certificate.
It said the skills sought by Mukuru were available in South Africa and that the foreign language requirement was discriminatory to local citizens.
Mukuru then turned to the courts for recourse in a bid to have the department’s decision set aside but Judge Daniel Thulare dismissed the company’s application: He ruled:
<blockquote>
The applicants unfairly exclude South African citizens from employment opportunities in South Africa in favour of foreign nationals.
In my view, this constituted unfair discrimination on grounds that included a race, ethnic or social origin, culture, language, and birth.
This unfair discrimination resulted in the applicants being found wanting in respect of private sector development as a strategy of the developmental and transformative state.
They failed to promote economic growth, which includes contributions by foreign nationals but also helps reduce poverty through deliberate actions to defeat the financial exclusion of the poor South African citizens.
</blockquote>
MFS had 137 124 workers, of whom 124 were foreigners while MA had a staff complement of 546, of whom 101 were foreigners.

Mukuru has introduced a way to send money through the WhatsApp business API. Just like the other platforms, Mukuru users sending money can now initiate the transaction on WhatsApp.
Below, the full press release:
<blockquote>January 2019: Mukuru announced today that they are one of the first money transfer companies in South Africa to allow customers to use WhatsApp to initiate transactions. As a leading money transfer service in Southern Africa, Mukuru strives to be the most convenient, safe and reliable option for financially underserved customers living away from home to help them support their families and realise their dreams. The WhatsApp Business API integration adds immensely to the world class service Mukuru provides to customers.
“We have integrated with the WhatsApp Business API to allow our customers to both create money transfer orders as well as managing their account details” says Oliver O’Brien, Head of Strategy and Business Development at Mukuru. He added, “It has taken a few months, and being one of the first to market, the overall process of integration has been relatively smooth sailing.”
One of the many benefits is that the technology can work anywhere. Mukuru customers can be in any country in which the company operates and still interact with Mukuru via WhatsApp. The service is multilingual and has been translated into French, Shona, Ndebele, Chewa, Sesotho, and Portuguese. Customers can easily request to chat with an agent in their home language.
Mukuru prides itself in ensuring the safety of their customer transactions. WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption applies to all interactions, which means that even WhatsApp cannot see the contents of a user’s messages to Mukuru.
“The introduction of WhatsApp will not replace our existing methods of sending money, rather this is a new and innovative use of existing technology that helps to replace inefficiencies of the old (SMS/USSD).”said O’Brien.
Adding to Mukuru’s long list of industry firsts, the addition of the WhatsApp Business Solution simply allows the company to provide an even more convenient, safe and reliable service to their customers.

Cape Town (24th May, 2017) – Mukuru, a leading remittance company, has donated textbooks to 3 high schools in Zimbabwe namely Churchill Boys High, Harare High and Mufakose High 1.
Mukuru, a South African based company, has embarked on an effort to expand its social responsibility activities to include its remittance destinations such as Zimbabwe and Malawi. School fees payments are one of the most common purposes for remittances and it seems appropriate that a corporate social responsibility program begins with a focus on education. The donation of over 130 books included Mathematics and Computer Science textbooks as well Shona novels.
Mukuru’s Country Representative, Tawanda Chinyani said,” Mukuru is keen to make an impact on communities beyond facilitating easy money transfers. We value growth through learning and felt it was fitting to get involved with supporting educational institutions in Zimbabwe.”
“Our Shona department was in a rather challenging position with sharing ratios of up to 10 students per book. We are glad Mukuru has stepped in to support us.”, said Mrs Satande of Harare High.
Churchill Boys High’s deputy head Mrs Shoko cited the need for up to date learning material particularly in subjects that such as Computer Science that evolve quite rapidly and expressed gratitude to Mukuru for their contribution.
